The Library of the Dead (Edinburgh Nights #1) by T.L. Huchu is an enjoyable atmospheric fantasy novel. I was hoping that the library element would have played a larger part in this story, but I still liked getting into this Edinburgh and meeting the characters. I'm haven't decided whether or not I want to continue the series or not though.

Can't Spell Treason Without Tea (Tomes & Tea #1) by Rebecca Thorne was a nice little cozy fantasy. I enjoyed spending time in the world, but I wasn't as invested in these two characters as I should have been. I'm still looking forward to book two though.

Red Country (First Law World #6) by Joe Abercrombie is a standalone fantasy set in the world of his First Law series. I've really enjoyed what I've read from this author so far and this was cool as well. I really appreciated just how much of a western this one is Honestly, it's always good to read more from this him.

The Mark of Athena (The Heroes of Olympus #3) by Rick Riordan is another awesome installment in this series and this world overall. I loved seeing some favorite character return. What an ending! I can't wait to read book four.

Catching Stars by Cayla Keenan is a YA fantasy standalone I just happened to pick up after it caught my eye at a thrift store. It sounded like it had a lot of potential, but it never quite hit with me. If I liked the characters or if there was something more interesting about them this would have been better. Oh, well.

I do like this series, but Blood Lines (Victoria Nelson's Blood Investigations #3) by Tanya Huff has been the weakest for me so far. Is it my fault I judge all mummy related things to The Mummy (1999)?

It's definitely interesting to see Wallander in his younger days as he's getting started and through his career. I'd say the first story in The Pyramid: The First Wallander Cases (Kurt Wallander #9) by Henning Mankell is probably my favorite just because he's so different but you can see who he's becoming.

I have a copy of Library of the Dead but haven't read it yet. I'm sad to see you only gave it 3 stars, though.
